The Federal Republic of Lion1806 is a very large, safe nation, remarkable for its enslaved workforce, frequent executions, and stringent health and safety legislation. The hard-nosed, devout population of 299 million Lion1806ians are highly moralistic and fiercely conservative, in the sense that they tend to believe most things should be outlawed. People who have good jobs and work quietly at them are lauded; others are viewed with suspicion.

The medium-sized, moralistic government juggles the competing demands of Law & Order, Education, and Defense. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 31.5%.

The strong Lion1806ian economy, worth 17.5 trillion catnips a year, is led by the Cheese Exports industry, with major contributions from Book Publishing, Furniture Restoration, and Door-to-door Insurance Sales. Black market activity is notable. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 58,563 catnips, with the richest citizens earning 8.5 times as much as the poorest.

Foreigners write "made in Lion1806" on shoddy merchandise in hope of receiving a buy-out, ten-year-olds regularly found their own political parties, government popup ads are springing up like weeds, and the government is seen to favor traditionalist religions. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Lion1806's national animal is the Meowing Cats, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Lion1806 is ranked 127,936^th in the world and 3^rd in Holocene for Highest Disposable Incomes, with 40,115.81 Standard Monetary Units.
